- 요약Millions of people use social media platforms to curate digital representations of themselves through the creation of profiles and sharing images and narratives about their daily lives. Social media are also increasingly used to amplify offline prosocial causes that grow and evolve into prosocial movements. Although social media platforms have been used to bring people together in solidarity and push for change in society through causes such as #MeToo, #BoPo, and #BLM (Jackson et al., 2020), some scholars contend that social media increasingly provide venues for users to engage in performative allyship (Wellman, 2022) that prioritizes the personal interests of users rather than the social causes they purport to advance. The vast number of sources-with different agendas and messaging strategies-who exist on social media platforms can create complexities related to promoting prosocial causes authentically and effectively. The current study examines how differences in two perceived affordances- persistence and visibility-affect how women viewers evaluate the authenticity of men who post allyship messages on Instagram. Additionally, I examine how viewer perceptions of comment deletion and comment restriction impact source evaluations. Results indicate that the more women viewers found posts to be persistent, the more they rated the men who posted as authentic allies, as having prosocial reasons for posting, and as having less self-interested reasons for posting. Greater perceived visibility of posts had a similar impact on these outcome variables. Moreover, comment deletion and restriction were found to partially affect how viewers evaluated the authenticity and motives of sources, providing additional support to warranting theory (DeAndrea, 2014; Walther & Parks, 2002). Implications for promoting prosocial messaging and digital allyship online are discussed.
